Emilio Butragueño leads the five-person delegation, which includes Felicia Schröder. The gala starts at 9 p.m. at the Palladium Theatre.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are sending a five-person delegation to London for tonight's Ballon d'Or gala. The highest institutional representative will be international relations director Emilio Butragueño, not club president Florentino Pérez, whose attendance had been speculated about.
Kylian Mbappé heads the players' group, one of the three big favourites alongside Lamine Yamal and Harry Kane. Travelling with him from 1 p.m. are world champion Marc Cucurella and new signing Yan Diomande, the club's most expensive signing ever. Felicia Schröder completes the group.
The party will stay at the Marriott before heading to the Palladium Theatre, where the winner will only be revealed at the end of the gala, scheduled for 9 p.m.
